Volume Four, Chapter 186, Hard-to-Eat

Outside the city of Omori, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky. In order to obtain the distribution rights of Shijian Silver Mine, all the princes were desperate to force their subordinates to climb the city wall. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they worked, they would fail.

The Ming army on the city wall was so tenacious. No matter how they attacked, they would eventually be beaten to pieces.

To be honest, all the princes felt very unwilling to accept it, because the number of Ming troops on the city wall was only a few thousand, and their tens of thousands of troops continued to attack fiercely. How could they not be able to take it down?

They really couldn't figure out this question, but Oda Shingen, who was watching the game later, could see clearly.

It is obvious that the Ming army had a special firearm, which was the one that could explode when thrown out, and its lethality was quite terrifying. As long as it was within a few steps of the explosion range, it was the Ming army who blocked the coalition forces of various princes again and again with this firearm.

However, the number of firearms like the Ming army seems to be very limited, and they will not use them until the critical moment.

Yoxi, very good, this is the result he wants!

These cannon fodders are used to consume Ming munitions. As long as the Ming army's firearms and ammunition are consumed, it will be easy to take down Omori City or even the entire Ishimi Kingdom.

He even began to fantasize about how to use the profits of Ishimiji Silver Mine to expand his troops after taking down Ishimiji Silver Mine, and how to deal with the Ashikaga clan and establish his own shogunate.

His plan has been implemented quite smoothly so far, but there is one person who seems to have seen through his plan, but he just can't get it. This person is Takeda Shingen.

Does this old fox also want to reap the benefits of the fisherman?

This won't work!

He thought for a while, then ordered loudly: "Go, please come here."

Soon, Takeda Shingen came with a large group of guards, following the commander's personal guards and came leisurely.

Oda Nobunagaya said curiously: "Tada, why don't you go? Judging from this situation, we are already evenly matched with the Ming army guarding the city. As long as we work harder, the Ming army in the city will probably not be able to resist it."

He seemed to be saying that if you don’t get on, I will get on. Then don’t say that I will rob military merits.

Takeda Shingen sneered in his heart, do you think I am an idiot too?

At this time, I'm looking for death!

He could see clearly that the coalition forces of various vassals seemed to be on the tide of offensives, but there was no substantial progress. There was not even a single 60,000 or 70,000 troops rushing to the city wall.

Obviously, the defenders in the city still have spare energy, or in other words, these cannon fodders are not consumed enough.

At this time, he was also going to be a cannon fodder. Of course, he was not so stupid. At least, he had to wait for people to attack the city wall and consume some of the strength of the defenders.

He pretended to be polite and said, "God General, I dare not compete for military merit with you. Otherwise, you should go first. It would be enough for me to follow me and get some cheaper."

Baga, you old fox.

Oda Nobunaga cursed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be righteous and righteous: "I have said that I can't go back on my word. However, judging from this situation, as long as I work harder, I can win this Omori Castle. I am really anxious. Otherwise, I'd better help you with your hard work."

I'm gonna be!

You old fox, want to consume my strength and dream!

Takeda Shingen also cursed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be calm: "This siege is generally protracted. Judging from the current situation, the defenders in the city should still have enough strength. If we want to take it down in one fell swoop, it may be a bit difficult. Otherwise, let them withdraw and repair it first, and continue tomorrow."

When Oda Nobunaga heard this, his eyes narrowed.

It seems that this old fox will never get on.

He pretended to look up and looked at the situation on the battlefield carefully, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, it seems that it will be difficult to take Omori Castle today. I'd better let them take down first and then make a long-term plan."

After saying that, he raised his hand and shouted: "Ming Jin, stop the troops."

"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang", a golden sound sounded. The princes of the attacking city looked at me, and I looked at you, and found that no one wanted to fight to the end. In the end, they could only stomp their feet helplessly and retreat with their men.

Seeing this, Yu Dayou on the city wall couldn't help but frown and hesitate.

These guys actually retreated like this. Should they open up their firepower and leave as many people as possible?

He looked at the neatly arranged troops of the Oda and Takeda clans in the distance, and finally gave up on this idea.

If he ordered all firepower to be opened at this time, he kept firing with a musket, and then bombarded with cannons, most of the 60,000 to 70,000 Japanese pirates who rushed up would have to stay.

However, in this way, his firepower was completely exposed, and the Japanese pirates would definitely not dare to launch another attack.

Is it enough to eliminate 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates in this battle?

He believes that it is not enough. At least most of the more than 100,000 Japanese pirates must be eliminated to make people frightened!

So, he did not give any orders, just watched the Japanese pirates retreat like a tide.

In this battle, the Japanese pirates were indeed suffering heavy casualties, but most of them were injured rather than dead. The actual casualties were about ten thousand, and the others were basically injured by bullets or thunder, which was not enough to be fatal.

When the princes from all walks of life went back to count the number of casualties, they were really shocked. However, they were not scared. In their opinion, the firepower of the Ming army was just like this. The reason why more than 10,000 people were killed was mainly because they did not targeted defense against the Ming army's firearms. If they could prepare some wooden shields in advance, the situation would not be so.

That afternoon, in Oda Nobunaga's simple tent, all the princes were full of reluctance, just as if Oda Nobunaga did not call for the gold and withdraw their troops, they would be able to take Omori Castle.

Seeing this, Nobunaga Oda couldn't help but sneer in his heart. However, on the surface, he still explained patiently: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work. The morning battle is really a pity. Takeda Jun and I were originally planning to rush forward to help everyone take down Omori City. However, before the war started, I said that if I don't snatch military merits from everyone, it would be a bit unreasonable if I lead the army to rush forward, so I asked everyone to withdraw and discuss it again."

When all the princes heard this, they all showed a look of thought. Did this guy really keep his promise or let them be cannon fodder?

After all, everyone is not fool. They have beaten more than half of the casualties, but Oda Nobunaga's men have nothing to do with it. It would be a bit unreasonable to ask them not to notice any tricks anymore.

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga still sneered in his heart.

It seems that this tactic of playing hard to get has to be played with.

He continued calmly: "The General asked me to be the General, but I hid behind to watch the show. It was really unreasonable. Otherwise, let me and Takeda Jun lead the army to the first tomorrow. When it is almost time to capture Omori Castle, everyone will rush forward again. You see what you think."

This guy wants to get a bargain!

When all the princes heard this, this idea came to their minds.

They had consumed tens of thousands of people today, and the tricks that the defenders in the city could use were probably almost done. If Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen lead their troops to the top tomorrow, they would likely be able to take Omori Castle in one fell swoop. At that time, they would be a big deal!

Their original formation is four or five miles away from the city wall, and it will take at least a quarter of an hour to lead the army over. If Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen both lead the army to rush up the city wall, they will probably not be able to get a bite from the army after they lead the army over.
